About Maria
Maria Casson Greco is a psychodynamic counsellor with eleven years of clinical experience. She holds BACP registration, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Maria speaks English and Portuguese and offers therapy for a wide range of life issues, including relationship and family concerns as well as parenting challenges.
Maria aims to help people understand patterns that repeat in their lives. Sessions focus on how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships.
Background and approach
She uses reflective conversation to make those patterns clearer and more manageable. Alongside psychodynamic work, Maria draws on Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices to support emotional awareness. This mix can be useful for people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or struggles with self‑esteem.
She also addresses practical matters like sleeping, eating, and coping with life changes. Her approach is down to earth and conversational. Clients are invited to talk at their own pace, notice recurring themes, and try small changes between sessions.
Therapy aims to build insight and practical ways to feel steadier day to day. Maria offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Pricing varies with location and therapist availability and is arranged through a cancellable subscription.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Maria blends psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness in online work. Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring emotional patterns and how early experiences shape present feelings; it helps when someone wants to understand why they react in certain ways. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple, practical ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce stress and improve emotional balance.Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. Maria collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt the focus as the work progresses so people feel involved in the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video sessions allow face to face conversation, phone calls can work with less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check‑ins, and messaging provides ongoing written contact between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or other commitments while keeping the therapeutic work consistent and accessible.
